-I am putting links to specific papers or lectures here. Some of these are longer versions of published papers; some of them are simply accessible versions of chapters or papers that are hard to find; some are papers which have not yet been published; some are videos of presentations. Where a paper has been published in an easily accessible open-source venue I just link to that version, as I would rather the journal (or whatever) gets the visits it deserves.

Please note that much of what I have written is not here, and some things that are here were never formally published.

 ===Autism and Anthropology (2022) ===
 There's more and more work around the anthropology of autism these days, and a very few pieces written by openly autistic anthropologists. I haven't yet published anything peer-reviewed in which I position myself as an autistic anthropologist and I'm not sure I ever will. However, I put together this poster for the ITAKOM conference organised by Sue Fletcher-Watson and Sophie Dow as a way of trying to make sense of theorising participant observation as an autistic anthropologist. Maybe it will become a paper or a methods chapter someday, but for now, it's a start.

+===The Use of Bats as Medicine Among the Newars (2008) ===
+In this study, based on research funded by the Carnegie Trust, I developed a different approach to ethnobiology that was more closely affiliated to ecological anthropology. Rather than surveying all the uses of some taxon in a community without any reference to informants, I focussed much more carefully on ethnographic and historical study of the linguistics, rituals, and medical uses of a particular taxon---in this case, bats--- and what it can tell us about human/non-human relations in a place. In so doing, I started something of a sub-sub-field, and was delighted to discover that a special issue on the ethnobiology of bats was underway in 2021 (for which I served as a reviewer). The original article is [[https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.2993/0278-0771_2008_28_69_tuobam_2.0.co_2|here]]; the recent online reprint is crippled by poor handling of Unicode characters.
